The Assembler

A quirky panel exploration of the intersection of art and tech with Jef Holbrook and friends. A little something different each episode. Sometimes funny, sometimes strange, but always assembled it into something worth hearing.

In the finale of our pilot, we talk about what happens when you become renown for creating something you don't regard as your best work. Plus, answers to the question: "What do you want to see more of in art?

The conversation continues! This time, the crew discusses the Charlie Rose interview of George Lucas (http://www.hulu.com/watch/886675), the validity of Fan Fiction as an art form and a closer examination of our main topic, "what is art?"

We take our new show for a test run in this three-part pilot for The Assembler podcast with Jef Holbrook. Around the mic today are members of the Assembler Studios (and Polar Studios) creative team, including: Aaron Gotlieb, founder of Dancing Monkey Cabaret and retired host of ArTechník Podcast, Sara Lynn Herman, actor and founder of Rogue Masks, Jef Holbrook, the host of The Assembler podcast, Adam Montague, host of the Up For A Challenge podcast, and Scott B. Smith, writer and founder of Gyre Studios. The topic? What makes good art.
